After the 3rd service for my daughter's 2003 CR-V for the airbag light
staying illuminated, the dealer told her it is because "she has a cellphone"
and that using the cellphone in the front seat may cause the malfunction to
repeat.   Incredulous, she called me and asked if I didn't think it complete
BULLSHIT.   I did.  So the Service Manger (Vicki - Honda, Goleta / Santa
Barbara California) called me and CONFIRMED this.   We called (daughter and
I via conference call) Customer Relations in Torrence California where they
AGAIN CONFIRMED this problem   The Rep told my daughter to use the phone in
the back seat and not place it in the front of the car!

The dealer / Vicki / called and said they wanted to "try something" and
asked for the car again, and that they had "ordered a part."  ---- Now being
serviced for the 4th time in the year, they now claimed the problem (which
they failed to diagnose week before) was that she had "spilled something" on
the passenger seat.   Well, in fact, she HAD spilled something on the seat a
few weeks before.

So what to believe?   Cellphones deactivate airbag systems AND / OR don't
let the passenger seat get wet?   EITHER one of these would seem serious
defects warranting recall or warning to consumers.

You could take this question over to hondasuv.com, and when you get the
answer, bring it back for all to share . . . .

   if the seat gets wet it will cause problems,  cellphones are
notorious for causing interference, especially nextell phones.
   if she spilled something then it's her problem not hondas!!!!!!!!

I have a 2000 accord and if the passenger seat has anything other than a
person in it my airbag light stays on. i first noticed this one day
after i got out of class, i put my bookbag in the seat and the light
came on and it does this even if the cell phone is laying in the seat.
